6*4882a593Smuzhiyun	This driver implements the iWARP RDMA transport over
7*4882a593Smuzhiyun	the Linux TCP/IP network stack. It enables a system with a
8*4882a593Smuzhiyun	standard Ethernet adapter to interoperate with a iWARP
9*4882a593Smuzhiyun	adapter or with another system running the SIW driver.

12*4882a593Smuzhiyun	The driver interfaces with the Linux RDMA stack and
13*4882a593Smuzhiyun	implements both a kernel and user space RDMA verbs API.
14*4882a593Smuzhiyun	The user space verbs API requires a support
15*4882a593Smuzhiyun	library named libsiw which is loaded by the generic user
16*4882a593Smuzhiyun	space verbs API, libibverbs. To implement RDMA over
17*4882a593Smuzhiyun	TCP/IP, the driver further interfaces with the Linux
18*4882a593Smuzhiyun	in-kernel TCP socket layer.
